Today’s Gratitude List + October 2015 Gratitude Linkup

The sky is clear and blue today, a perfect backdrop for trees in the midst of a transition from summer green to fall shades of red and gold. Even though my home office window looks out onto our back yard and a not-so-beautiful alley, the view of the many gorgeous trees around us never fails to fill my heart with gratitude as I sit at my desk and take in their beauty. Happy autumn!

In no particular order, here is my own gratitude list for this moment in time. I hope that after reading it you’ll go on to write and share your own!

Better-than-usual voter turnout at our recent Canadian election.

Election results that give me a dose of hope for the future of our wonderful country.

Canada’s generally sane and non-sensationalist news media.

Having the energy and motivation to finally catch up on mega loads of laundry (which might sound like a little thing, but I’m tremendously grateful not to have to look at those huge piles of dirty clothes, towels, and bedding anymore!).

Technology like our DVR which allows us to watch what we want on TV at our convenience and never miss out on anything.

Settling in well to increased hours and responsibilities at my job.

Having a branch of the company’s bank within a couple of blocks of my home, making the task of depositing cheques for the office a breeze.

Fun evenings out with friends.

People who can make you laugh until it hurts.

Amazingly beautiful fall weather.

Audiobooks, which enable me to “read” even when I’m working.

Being able to borrow audiobooks from our local library.

Now it’s your turn!

Great list Laurel 🙂 I don’t know about politics, but I liked the fact that being with people who make us laugh till it hurts is amazing. I know how beautiful the fall is, would love to see more pics in your blog.Mahathi Ramya recently posted… Only wheat not white by Varsha Dixit
